Improve video quality. The only way I know how to right now, would sacrifice latency. I'm open to suggestions.
Improve font size. Yes. Please remind me in live chat if I forget to zoom in on my screen.
Hard to interact with lecturer. For this week I'm using YouTube. I'm happy to try Zoom next week and then we can compare/choose. Are there other online systems you've used for lectures which have worked well?
Lag between chat and livestreams might lead to confusion since while waiting for an answer, it goes on to the next material. I haven't found a solution to this yet. Maybe we can try the lower-latency version which does sacrifice video quality. Or maybe I'm convinced to try Zoom tomorrow and see how that goes.
Show the final outcome, so it's easier to follow as we create the spreadsheet Yes
Go slower. Yes. Sorry about that.
Larger screen. Is that the screen size? Font size? How much I can fit on the one screen? Screen resolution? I could increase my resolution and fit more on, but then it might make it harder to read for people watching the stream on smaller computer monitors.
Some shortcuts done without saying. Sorry about that. For spreadsheets, I'm trying to balance "big picture overview" with teaching more in-depth things. When we move on to python there will be less of this as each step will be explained more thoroughly.
Give students a chance to give it a go as we go through the lecture. Yes. Especially as we finished quicker than I expected, that should be possible.

2.1 Python Introduction

Summary

  • I will endeavour to go slower. (I need constant reminding about this.) Take time to explain each concept and what's happening.
  • I will focus on using English words to explain things more. (Eg "integer" rather than "int".)
